The University of Hong Kong has patented RNA polymerase β subunit/RNA polymerase sigma factor RpoD (bacterial) interaction inhibitors reported to be useful for the treatment of gram-positive bacterial ...

Gene expression is linked to RNA transcription, which cannot happen without RNA polymerase. However, this is where the similarities between prokaryote and eukaryote expression end. Central to the ...

Three different types of RNA polymerase exist in eukaryotic cells, whereas bacteria have only one. In eukaryotes, RNA pol I transcribes the genes that encode most of the ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs ...
